28 Faces, day 8
I am interested in photographing the person as bare as possible…I don’t want to put people into special situations, ask them to do specific things, or act in a certain way.

The best pictures are…suddenly there in front of you.

28 Faces, day 6
A portrait isn’t a fact but an opinion – an occasion rather than the truth.

Hello and welcome to a project I am calling 28 Faces.
My photographic journey has gone places (literally and figuratively) that I never even imagined when I decided on a whim to start a photo blog in 2009. I’ve been so fortunate to have meet other photographers who’ve supported and encouraged me, who’ve led me further along the path as it evolves and meanders, who’ve seen potential that I was missing. It’s a fascinating journey.
Anyway, today begins a whole month of portraits. And here’s a quote to get things started:
The most difficult thing for me is a portrait.
